The "modded" bios provides more recent device firmwares than what Gigabyte may provide.Quote:

As to why Gigabyte themselves don't include the latest device firmwares?
Don't really know. Except that: they'll say that they need to first, do detailed compatibility testing.
Intel RAID ROM 11.6.0.1702 is already in latest BIOS.
Actually: F15k(beta) & later, for the Z77x-UD5H board.Quote:

slews actually have an impact on performance too
Hey , Bioses for UD5H are valid for UP5TH ?
Because not developed most of Bioses for UP5-TH ? I am interested on that board and for other models update continuosly.
Regards !
^No,BIOS's for UD5H is only for UD5H.
For UP5 ,expected to release soon.
Think this is the first bios I have been able to use slews & maintain 24/7 stability so I'm happy. Will have to test for its performance impact later when I got time :up:Quote:

slew setting?! Why don't they fix the defective sys fan control first?
what u mean?
SYS_FANs only modulate about 100rpm (instead of the fan's full range), then when mobo temp hits 50C they all go on at 100% (making a lot of noise).

Has anybody plugged a Z77X-UD5H into a kill-a-watt? Mine uses 5 Watts when suspended or turned OFF ! That seems very high, my Sabertooth uses only 1.2W in S3 and 0 watts when off.
That's a BIOS option, ERP or something? leaves the USB ports and such powered for on/OFF charge if that option is not enabled. Many boards do this, perhaps the Sabertooth had it enabled.Quote:

Very few boards are 0W when turned off. Is not different than many electronic devices, or so I thought. I know this is not ASUS thread, but ASUS ROG boards, with their lights and such are the same, but enabled ERP, and the lights and such turn off.Quote:

Perhaps I see more fluctuations because my measurement device refreshes more often? I am not sure...
I have my kill-a-watt clone plugged in power bar directly above my monitor so I can see it whenever I want, so this IS something I have noticed as well. U have reviewed 40+ boards over the past two years, all are the same.
Something just occurred to me while fixing typos here...I seem to recall that these numbers change depending on what PSU is used, so I had personally dismissed this as PSU at fault, but your info brings something else to it. I wonder how many of these boards draw from -12 V?

I guess it’s possible that the PSU and mobo don’t play well together but 5W when turned off is not right. I’ve used two Z77X-UD5H from different batches and they both use 5W when off (with seasonic x650 gold). Sys fan control is also defective on both, as many reviewers have noted. The [H]ard forum editor called fan control on the UD5H “abysmal” even though [H] generally promotes Gigabyte brand.
I’m still curious what kill-a-watt readings others are getting. I guess eXtreme overclockers are not into saving energy.
its not defected, it just isn't there, for "simplicity" as they put it. But yea i think in the future it could be different. hardforum dude is a joke if he says anything good or bad.

Both boards like slew rate 5 for PSC. 1m is about all this stupid sticks can do.
Just built a system for a friend with a GIGABYTE-GA-Z77X-D3H with a 3TB Seagate Barracuda internal HD. I installed Win8 and broke the drive into two major partitions but soon realized the drive was set up as MBR and there was a 700+ unallocated section that I couldn't do anything with. Went back to square one, looked in the BIOS setup and saw that it was set to UEFI & Legacy. Tried UEFI only and the drive wasn't recognized. I'm lost, how do I set this drive up as GPT so I can natively run the full 3TB without using a 3rd party software like the Seagate program? While in Disk Manager (Win8) I looked for any options to convert to GPT but saw nothing.. Thanks for any help.
@ GaryR: check the owner's manual that you're plugging into the correct SATA ports.
Ports 0 & 1 should be the faster SATA 6 ports, where the HD would connect. Ports 4 or 5 (SATA 3) should have the optical drive connected.
The 2 Marvell controller SATA ports probably shouldn't be used for a boot drive.
Hi guys please help
see my original post @ ocuk forum

Picked up a Z77 UD5H, 16GB Samsung RAM and a 3770K a few days back, having read through these boards (great resource, thanks guys) and figuring that was the best value/performance combo:)
Put it all together with a Be Quiet RP2 and dialed in 4500/2133 with a small voltage increase on the vcore and RAM, and everything is running great, has OC'ing really become this easy? My GTX680 flies now, Skyrim fully modded has never looked or played so well :D
Such a sweet upgrade from my Q9650 at 4.0Ghz, ripping out all my old watercooling gear was so nice too!

currently at 3.6ghz but 68c running full prime.
^_^ still tinkering though. Hoping to break the 4 barrier soon.
Using F14 on my UD5H and it seems fine, both the beta BIOS lost my keyboard function at boot and generally were unstable, losing settings and similar, which was a pain. Out of interest, how do I flash the backup BIOS? Never had a dual BIOS board before, and I would like F14 on both chips if possible, the manual makes no real mention of it :)
Cheers!
@ Mickey Padge: the UD5H's dual bios selector switch is located near the edge of the board, opposite side of where the CPU is located.
With power disconnected, slide the switch to select the alternate bios, then do the update flash. I recommend using bios version F15o, because later bioses F15p & F15q have lost use of the F11 alternate boot device key. F15q also has problems with the USB mouse function while in the bios setup.
Note: only F15k and later include the updated Intel RST firmware. Version F15t is also not recommended.
Thanks for the info on the dual BIOS, found the switch :)Quote:

Delided my 3770K, it survived, just, and with the help of a carefully applied liquid pro thermal paste (paste?! Crazy stuff lol), temps have dropped by between 15-20c give or take, that's just nuts! 80c ish to around 60c ish! :D
Slight nick on the CPU's green PCB, where the corner of the heat cover dug when popped off, had me very nervous, it revealed metal, but it was to the outer edges and didn't hurt anything, phew ;)
Hi, had a bit of a nerve wracking weekend, so these forums showed up in my desperate google searches so thought i'd give it a shot!
In summary, this weekend i tried to overclock my pc. It didnt go well. So first things first, here's what i've got!
Gigabyte Z77X-D3H - Rev 1.0 (Intel Ivy Bridge Core i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz)
Motherboard firmware - f15
enermax ETS-T40 cooler
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1
12.0 GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 667MHz (9-9-9-24) (Corsair Vengeance CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9)
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660
Hard Drives
119GB SAMSUNG SSD 830 Series (SSD)
932GB Seagate ST1000DM005 HD103SJ (SATA)
OCZ ZS Series 550W '80 Plus Bronze
I put this system together in september, and its been running great since. Knowing that it was stable, i thought it was finally time to bite the bullet and do my first overclock.
1) Installed a cooler, ran a few stress tests, temps were great (before: 69 degress under load, after: 44 degress). Onto step 2!
2) Using 3d bios set the CPU multiplier to 43 (4.3ghz overclock)
My understanding was that the bios would automatically adjust everything else. Idiot proof! Temps were fine, about 55 degress...
3)...then my pc just completely shut down.
4) Dialled back the overclocks, 4.2ghz, 4.1, 4.0...all would crash within a short period of time.
5) decided to use the Easy tune 6 app helpfully provided by gigabyte themselves. This was a bad idea.
6) Machine restarted to apply changes, then failed to boot at all. Totally nuked. Turning on power results in power led flashing for half a second and then everything shutting down.
7) Cry a little
8) Unplug EVERYTHING, reset CMOS with screwdriver, load optimised defaults, decide to call it a day and forget about overclocking.
9) next day, machine fails to boot again. Unplug, power down, reset cmos, load optimised defaults. It works! Problem solved
10) today switched on, AGAIN failed to power up. Open case, reset cmos, load optimised defaults, log onto forums here.
HELP! Dont really know what i've done wrong. I've not used any 3rd party tools or software, and now things are a lot worse than before.
Initial thoughts were the overclock and graphics card were draining too much power, but now that i've reverted to factory settings, that cant be the case.
Upgrading the firmware also isnt an option, as i tried f16 and f17 before, and computer would post but not boot into windows.
So if anyone has any thoughts or suggestions i'd be very appreciative. Feels like i've shot myself in the foot here!
Thanks and apologies if this is all overwhelmingly NOOBish
@ Junkville I would flash the BIOS again in the hope that it has become corrupted & a re-flash would at least get you back to where you were.
Welcome to the forum :up:
Thanks for the reply, and thanks for the welcome! I wouldnt have thought to try reflashing the bios, but thats now TOP of my to-do list for the week :)Quote:

With fast boot selected the board fails to report BIOS version, adjusted multiplier, voltages etc.... just shows default.
Something has happened with the SATA channels... Just like some other BIOS's my SSD & DVD wont play together on the same channel whilst my RAID mirror drives are on the Intel white ports. I now have the SSD on the top grey port & the DVD on the lone port at the bottom of the board & all are reported ok!!! Previously on F14 Mod SSD & DVD on marvel grey ports & mirror on either black or white Intel ports.
Update ###
BIOS don't look bad... I have not killed it yet, its not got confused & Its booting & performing perfectly :)
Looks like you now have to Enable Intel Turbo Boost Technology & set the desired multiplier / Turbo Ratio to get what you want
BIOS F15R has also run 3 hours of prime @ my 24/7 4.5G 2666 tight just fine & I have run 6 or so 32M runs @ 5G 2800 in Windows 8 just fine

After many years with AMD ive (finally?) switched to Intel. Got myself a Z77X-UD4H and a 3570k (Batch 3236B873). Im also just on aircooling for now with a Hyper 212+ evo. For ram im using my "old" vengeance ram with hynix BFR.
Since my HD6950 is in for RMA im just using igpu atm.
I havent OCed it much yet, just upped the turbo to 43x and a very minor voltage offset(probably dont even need it, figure that out later) and igpu to 1500mhz. Ive been mostly playing with the ram. 2400 10.12.11.30 1T, 1.635v wasnt quite stable. It passed 1 memtest loop, but i got a couple bsods and fails in game and such so i need to tweak more, or just tweak around 2200mhz instead wich i run atm.
When im going to oc the cpu i would like to keep power saving options and stuff enabled. Should i just disable turbo and up the multi and it will clock down when idling? or should i use turbo and voltage offset? I dont need 5ghz+ but i do want to find a sweetspot between ghz and voltage. Im not excactly new to OC, but i havent played that much with Intel before, and never with turbo.
guys, got a chip here that's supposed to do 1511 mem frequency (websmile's chip Link Link)
running it on UD3H and UP5, and cant use the 2933 divider with my 2600C10 trident at as much as 1.95v, am i missing a bios setting or something somewhere?
have set PLL overvoltage enabled, 1.15-1.2 VTT, 1.1-1.15IMC, and running 11-13-13-38 2T with all other settings auto.
Nevermind
F13a bios + correct samsung slews = success
This thread is dead it seemes...
Yes... I guess its time for 1150.
Anyway, my UD3H is stable and all but its has been almost a year and we still don?t have a final BIOS that enables 4X Samsungs 35nm to run above 1866MHz...
hey guys, what board would you say is the best for memory testing a raw CPU clocks? UD3H or UP4/5 or another one? (Up7 is out as it is too much currently)
None of the boards listed in this thread:p:Quote:

The UD4H seems to not be available here (unless the UP4TH is the same board?) the UP5 looks like the goods,ill keep any eye on it and see if I can pickup a bargain when haswell drops..:D currently the price of 349 is bit rich of my blood especially with haswell around the corner..:DQuote:

Hey Jimba from what I've seen on here in the HWBot team thread & 5G 32M thread the UD3H, UD5H & UP5 are all fine boards & have pulled big mem & cpu speeds. I've not seen much done with the UD4H so cant comment.
I have a UD5H & the only limit is the rest of the hardware I put with it & my skills. Don't know about AU but there are plenty of UD5H's left here in the UK & Europe priced about the 150GBP mark.
Yeah I can get a UD3H for about 170AUD which I am strongly considering or if its better to watch the price of the UP5 and get one when they hit $250 (I can get a OC formula for that much as well) I kinda went nuts getting memory but not a board to test them in..Quote:

I do use RST my SSD uses AHCI as does my DVD which dont play well on the same controller as my mirror so dont see how I can have it any other way. The marvel ports are SATA 3 anyway btw.
Never. Just built my UD5-based machine a few days ago.Quote:
